In 1968, a committee published a commemorative volume," Seaford, Long Island, N. Y., 1643-1968, 325th Anniversary." At the Seaford Public Library, this book is shelved at 974.7247 S. I searched for addresses on Merrick Road and assembled the table below. This is meant to accompany the previous post, Merrick Road, 2021. As posts are in reverse chronological order, the previous post is below this one.
